The Problem

Veterinary practices are retail businesses with a hospital attached

Inventory, pharmacy, and diagnostics carry very different margins from professional services. Blend them together and you cannot tell which side of the practice is funding the other.

Inventory and pharmacy margin

Drugs, food, and supplies are real cost of goods with real shrink. We track them separately so pharmacy margin stops subsidising an unprofitable service line invisibly.

ProSal and doctor compensation

Production-based pay only works when the base, the production percentage, and the true-up are modeled together. We build it and test it against your actual case mix.

Consolidator and roll-up offers

Corporate groups are buying practices aggressively. We model the after-tax outcome and the employment terms before you are across the table from their team.

The economics

What we watch in a veterinary clinic

Every specialty has a handful of numbers that decide the year. These are the ones we put in front of you monthly, with the planning ranges we work against.

Veterinary clinic scorecardPlanning ranges
DVM compensation as a share of revenue20–25%
Support staff cost20–28%
Pharmacy and inventory cost of goods18–25%
Average client transactionTrack by visit type
Inventory turns per year8–12
Days in accounts receivableLow; mostly point of sale
Operating margin12–20%

Why these three matter most

  • Pharmacy margin is quietly erodingOnline pharmacies have compressed a line that used to carry the clinic. If you are not measuring it separately you will not see it go.
  • ProSal only works with clean production dataProduction-based DVM compensation is only as fair as the data behind it. Bad allocation creates disputes and turnover.
  • Inventory is cash on a shelfSlow turns tie up working capital and hide shrinkage. It is one of the fastest cash wins in a clinic.

These are planning ranges we work against in engagements, not published survey data. Healthy figures vary by payer mix, geography, entity structure and stage — a practice outside a range is not necessarily unhealthy, it is a question worth asking. We benchmark you against your own trend first.

Questions

From messy books to a real financial partner

As real cost of goods, tracked separately from professional services, with shrink identified rather than absorbed. Most clinics we take on discover their pharmacy margin is several points below what they assumed.
Yes. Base, production percentage, and true-up modeled against your actual case mix and seasonality, so you know what a new associate costs at realistic production rather than best case.
That is your call, and it should be an informed one. We model after-tax proceeds, earnout structure, and post-sale employment terms against the value of staying independent, so the decision is made on numbers.
